One of those creative days in which I'm glad that I have solar in The Shed and haven't wasted any energy resources other than my own mental capacity in my project slate’s journey to fuckall nowhere.

SOLAAAARRRR, part two

I have the (solar) power! Mini-split and house-generator hookup to be done at some point soon - but the main point: after three months of destruction, construction, design, and hurled combinatorial profanities, I can start working out there (once I get a small window AC unit to make it inhabitable in the afternoon).

solaaaarrrr

Hank and Aiden, the local sun gods, are at work: four panels are on the roof, the boxes are installed inside, big batteries unpacked, Derbz is going crazy with people in his backyard, and, by the end of the day, I'll have 12kw of renewable solar power surging through NuSanctum. Also nice: not only will NuSanctum be my studio, my escape across the yard, one in which my useless creative processings will no longer be wasted contributions to the climate apocalypse, but NS will (later this week) also function as a renewable backup generator for the house when the power goes out (read: I won't have to worry about my insulin stores going bad). If that wasn't enough, I anticipate being able to ward off vampires just by opening the doors. Win/win/win.
